More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the Pedego shop and the coast opens up—salt air presses against your face while the electric assist smooths the first hill-less miles. The route threads seven miles of Amelia Island’s designated bike path, crosses the George Crady Bridge, and slips into Big Talbot Island State Park where live oaks drip with Spanish moss and the shoreline rearranges itself with every tide. The smart helmets chatter softly; you can cue music or call out a bird sighting without stopping.
